A foursome of artists is utilizing iPad Pros and Apple Pencils to sketch players themselves, the grounds, spectators and highlight-reel shots including Sergio Garcia’s ace on the 17th hole, which was drawn by artist Evan Sklar.

Jim Conway, who is a middle school art teacher in Morgan Hill, Calif., drew the 16th green at TPC Sawgrass with Procreate, a popular painting app available on iPads.
